Doctor Who - Lost In Time

It's good to see some one off special guest companions become part of the main story.

Red Dwarf XII - The Game

A runner game with a combined 50 from Series XI and XII.

I'm playing through Elder Scrolls: Oblivion for the first time in the last 15 years. The game is still a lot of fun and I played a ton of it on my 360 back when I was in High School.

Claso of Clans.
I love this game

I watched 3 levels of Legend GBA Version on YouTube and I was half
laughing my anus off at how cartoony a PS 2 game looked in the whole.

It looked more like a Double Dragon game or something.

Took a refresher for Tomb Raider I from my PC run before finishing the game to remember where I was at. Resuming on PS 2 to finish the game.

I played the game 23 years ago on a friend's computer.

Final Fantasy IX

Having played Disk 1 on PS Mini to gage where I need to be level wise will finish the game on my Play Station 2.

I picked up Murder House last night and I gotta say...holy crap. This game is incredibly tense and just oozes atmosphere. The gameplay is such classic style survival horror, and I love how perfectly it captures the feel of low budget 80s slasher movies. It's also short enough to be played in a day, which is a positive for me because sometimes I just want something for the moment instead of dedicating myself to a longer experience.

Highly recommended for fans of old school Silent Hill and Resident evil or Friday the 13th, Prom Night, etc.

Dragon Warrior VIII - Journey Of The Cursed King (PS2)

Having played the main line games on PS2 I wanted to that I missed I had wanted to finish this.

Backwards tested Final Fantasy IX and will be playing

on PS 2 before starting the Survivor Trilogy on PC at some point.

I have a Play Station Classic Mini picked up from Dollar General during COVID. I bought the flash drives for it on Ebay. Finishing a few games on PS 2. I had a PS1 at the house but the disk tray broke so The PS Mini is a replacement.

I was looking at the Atari and Sega minis but neither warrented enough to buy it. With the PS1 mini I was able to finish games I missed.

Doing a Handgun/Knife run in RE4R.

Gotta say that the Matilda's an absolute beast of a gun once you don't have to worry about ammo. Still use the Blacktail for most encounters but when you've gotta make a hole in a horde, look to no further.

I've been a Resident Evil fan for YEARS (I was first introduced around 2001 or so, but became a huge fan when I played the first remake in 2007) and am just now getting around to playing RE5 :lol I just never had anybody to play it with. I remember the game being poorly-received upon release due to the heavy action focus, but I'm having a blast and it's much easier to accept this direction now that the series has really figured itself out.

Why would you do that to yourself? :lol

I was put off by how much they changed from RE4 (No attache case? NO MERCHANT?!) and splitting it into missions as opposed to a (mostly) continuous map/areas. Then again RE4 was my introduction to the series because I was a scaredy baby of a child and didn't really get over that until... well, RE4 started pushing me out of being a scaredy baby.

It's not about why, it's about why not!

(And infinite ammo Matilda turns Ganados into paint)

Okay so I'm about 2/3rds through the Castle section and it just occurred to me, I really hope shooting the cannon at the armored Gigante on the ramparts doesn't count against the run xD

I've known Resident Evil since it began, only played the original trilogy but followed it ever since, and watched playthroughs and or lets plays of the lot of them.

Always remember those first years, the articles or features in the magazines then.
The original trilogy remains what I consider proper Resi, the direction they went in afterwards just never matched it for me. Horror with action elements was how it should have remained. It kind of became the complete opposite, becoming action with horror elements, and though each of the games since has been good they did lose something along the way.

The one single game that defines the series for me is the remake of the original, and the original version of it not the high def remaster. Resident Evil Remake was and remains my absolute favourite entry in this entire series, I absolutely consider that to be the definitive Resident Evil experience.

I picked up PSVR2 from a Black Friday sale. Once I finish 5, I can't WAIT to play 8 in VR :D

Got to the island. Met the Regeneradors.

The Combat Knife is more effective than any of the handguns :lolol

The 4 Remake does bring the tone closer to the original trilogy, for what it's worth. Less 90s Action Hero stunts.

I like that because both have their place in gaming history for different reasons. Original for the campy action horror setting that worked really well, remake for when you actually want to be afraid and have a genuine scary experience.

@Topic: I actually played through the entire MegaMan X series recently. The original on the SNES from 1993 is one of my favorite games ever, but I never played the rest until now.

And well, it’s a journey. The first game is a masterpiece, 2 and 3 truck behind it, lovable but never quire reaching the heights of the original, then comes 4 and brings in a new spark of brilliance with a new system as it was first on the Playstation. Really nice graphics, fully animated video cutscenes (with a lovably bad, cheesy dub) gameplay as fun as the OG and basically two different campaigns to choose from.

After that I was hyped. 4 more games to play, what could go wrong? And oh boy, did things go wrong. X5 and X6 are horrible. Some of the worst games I’ve ever played. I have no idea how they screwed those up so badly. They are actively designed to annoy the player, just a pain to play. Which is baffling sine they already had the formula figured out by then, but instead of building on top of it they seemingly wanted to invent a catastrophe in order to forcefully end the series. Twice.

Then comes X7 which also sucks, it’s the first "3D" game on the PS2 in the series, and it's a wonky mess. But, unlike the two before, somehow playable, you can have fun with this. You can laugh at how bad it is.

Lastly, X8, and that one's actually really good. Still 3D in style but the gameplay is 2D again. And you have a solid MegaMan game here. Kind of cool actually. You can appreciate what new things they brought to the table; it's a genuinely well made game.

So if I had to rank these in order from best to worst:

X
X4
X8
X2
X3
X7
X5
X6

The series is sold in two packages nowadays as a "Legacy Collection", Part 1 includes games X-X4 and Part 2 comes with X5-X8.

Part 1 is a must have, has the two best games in the series and the other two are nice for the SNES-nostalgia alone.

Part 2 - just don't. If you get it for dirt cheap do it for X8 but never, ever touch X5, X6 or X7. Just don't, trust me.

So I thought I would like this about the remake, but I actually kind of different. I think the original RE4 being so tonally different is what made me appreciate it so much. By bringing it closer to the survival horror vibes of the previous games, I compared it to those more and held it to the standard set by the RE2 and RE3 remakes...so in the end, I ended up enjoying it less than the original RE4 AND less than the previous remakes.

Don't get me wrong, it's still a great game and it did a fantastic job balancing the horror and the b-movie action hero tropes...but I think I personally prefer going all-out in either direction.

Please don't misunderstand, I love both dearly. OG 4 holds up incredibly well in just about every capacity, literally my only gripe is that the environmental refinements of 4R show how much it was still ultimately slapped together in a rush - but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's phenomenal in the slightest.

4R is one of those rare remakes that stands entirely on its own, but still makes you appreciate how they got lightning to strike the first time around. It really stands out when you consider it managed to avoid the pitfalls of 2R and 3R, and all my gripes about it are pretty petty compared to those (i.e. the keychains feel half-baked and needed some offensive boosts, particularly for higher difficulties).

That's fair, I'm just much more partial to Leon's characterization in the Remakes than I am the originals- it feels like a much more natural transition to how we see him in 6. But I do love a moody boy so I admit I'm pretty heavily biased xD

I don't really remember how Leon was in the original, I just remember being blown away by how everything just felt so right. Even the most generic and predictable things were tons of fun.

Maybe I just set my expectations too high for the remake, lol.

I bought a Steam Deck OLED 1TB recently. It's such a fun device. Playing through my backlog is a breeze now that I don't have to go through the hassle of turning on my monitor, connecting plugs, etc.

I'm currently playing Tales of Zestiria, which is my first JRPG. The story is admittedly cliche, but I'm sure enjoying it.

Playing Final Fantasy VIII on Play Station 1 Classic mini.

I'm trying to level up full and top off supply before the second half of the game.

Also trying to level up in Final Fantasy XII before the Point Of No Return.

"Minimalist" run completed; the hardest part was the two Regeneradors/Iron Maidens right after the Mike section. Having gone through the game with all the handguns, here is my definitive ranking:

W/ Infinite Ammo:
1. Matilda (It melts everything!)
2. Blacktail
3. Sentinel Nine
4. Red9
5. Punisher
6. SG-09

W/o Infinite Ammo:
1. Blacktail
2. Sentinel 9
3. Red9
4. Punisher
5. SG-09
6. Matilda (it'll eat up your reserves!)

Sadly despite being Leon's signature weapon, the SG-09 is rendered completely obsolete by the Sentinel Nine due to them basically being equal, but the Sentinel's extended magazine and higher rate of fire makes it much more effective in most situations due to being able to place a follow-up shot that much quicker. Overall the Blacktail is king due to the balanced stat spread being complimented by the superior handling compared to literally everything else in the arsenal.

The nerf to the Red9 from OG means it's situational and best used in the place of a rifle for longer-range combat when used with the stock. The Punisher is fine I guess but just doesn't have the same punch as the other handguns, and the penetration is extremely situational- And not even that effective on Regeneradors, unlike the rifles or even LE-5.

And the Matilda is most situational of all; if you're using the cat ears for infinite ammo, it won't solve every problem, but it will solve most. If you're doing a "pure" run or focusing on your melee/knife damage over ammo, it's the worst simply because of lackluster damage without the stock, and eats ammo like Haruto does donuts.

He was a lot more jokey and flirty in OG, particularly with Ada, whereas Remake has him as a much more jaded, somber, and professional character. It also considerably improves his interactions with Krauser during the boss fight, with the two having very clear motivations compared to Leon's half-hearted answer of "My past, I suppose" when asked what he was fighting for.

Make sure you Junction Str/Mag/Vit/Spr Bonus to your party to increase stats per level up and finish Card Club quest to get them in Ragnarok on Disc 4, so you can refine even more stat-up items.

That's kind of just how Tales games go. It's nothing new or groundbreaking but executed in a way that it'll still keep you wanting more.

Playing

Tomb Raider VI - The Angel Of Darkness

on Play Station 2.

Serpent Rouge is driving me nuts so I may skip it.

I played Final Fantasy VIII on PS 1 years ago but was unable to finish the game so I want to get everybody to Level 100.

Also playing

Syphon Filter 1

on PS 1 mini. I'm on Level 4 but may redo Level 3 for an armor.

Final Fantasy X

In each trial there is a Glyph sphere and a Destruction Sphere. I'm on Trial 5 The Cloister Of Trials.

I grabbed Sonic x Shadow Generations and a PSVR2 from Black Friday sales.

Sonic:
I've never been much of a Sonic fan, but this game is pretty fun. I do kind of wish it was more of a "normal" sonic game, though, but that's a minor complaint. I think I'll try sonic mania next. I'm also really interested in the Sonic Adventure games, as I love that era of platform gaming, but I'm not sure how I'd be able to? I guess I could pick up a PS2 copy to play on my old PS3 that miraculously still works.

PSVR2:
I just finished playing a bit of Five Nights at Freddys Help Wanted 2, and it was pretty amusing and I had fun, but I'm not sure I really am enjoying the VR headset as a whole. It just feels like so much more work to enjoy games that are mostly gimmicky.

Glad you're having a good time, but the ps2 never got a version of the Adventure games so you'd need to track down a gamecube copy or a dreamcast one if you don't want to go digital through PSN or Steam


As for myself, I've been playing Tsukihime, I've really gotten into Type Moon's visual novels this year and as messed up as a lot of things here are, I find the story and characters real gripping

Huh, interesting....for some reason I thought it was on PS2. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm just about finished with Chroma Squad, this game rules. It definitely relies a lot on being a fan of tokusatsu, though - if you're not familiar with the tropes, I could see it being nothing more than a relatively shallow SRPG with some very lite management sim elements tacked on. But I'm loving it. I want to try playing it again with the other characters to see how they feel in comparison.

The only games not to make the PS 1 Classic Mini are

Driver 3
Ms. Pac-Man - Maze Madness
Street Fighter Collection Volume 1
Parasite Eve 2

I may buy these or use PS Emuator.

I will need to get Castle Vainia on PS 1 disk.

Finished Chrome Squad. That was super fun.

I'm gonna try to go back through my backlog and beat games that I never finished before starting new ones. I decided to give Megaman X another try because I never got past the final stage...this is so frustratingly difficult that I feel like I'm losing my mind, and a discussion on Reddit said that this game is EASY!? Maybe I'm just not used to old game design, or I'm using the wrong weapons or something, but jeez.

In my 20+ years of being a Megaman fan, I've never been able to finish a single one of the classic games. Meanwhile, I've beaten all of the Zero games except 2 (which I simply got busy and fell off of) and apparently those are difficult in comparison?

I own

Mega Man 1 - 11

I bought Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 for Mega Man 9 and 10 and Mega Man 11 digitally.

I also own Mega Man X1- X8 on PS 2.

Have you finished them? I think I might just suck at these games, lol

Also not on PS Mini

The Dukes Of Hazzard I and II


As for Mega Man I was playing Mega Man 8 on PS2.

Almost done with the first Disgaea game and I'm sald that it's almost over. I love how fun the gameplay is and the story is well done. I love Laharl, Etna and Flonne as main characters because they are funny, likable, and relatedable. I also love the art style that the games have as well. I regret not getting into this series sooner.
